GOR Chapter 630 Freak Out
"Wolf riders?" Longbottom's face sank and he quickly asked, "Where are they? Are there a lot of them? Can we do something to him? "
The mercenary who was scouting the way shook his head and said, "Impossible! They are just up ahead, past this forest. There are at least three to four thousand of them. I was worried that we would be too close so I didn't dare to stop. You know as well, those wolves have very sharp noses. We didn't dare to get close. However, there are at least three thousand of them! "
Although the two of them spoke in a low voice, many of the people around them heard them. Their faces immediately changed!
Several thousand wolf riders?
These people had been on the frontlines for quite some time. Who doesn't know the power of the orcs' wolf riders? These wolf riders moved like the wind, galloping and leaping. They were fierce and cunning in battle.
Not to mention, there were thousands of them while their team only had less than 300 men …
In terms of combat power, their side was at an absolute disadvantage. Furthermore … looking at the surrounding terrain, there was only this small forest. The rest of the area was mostly flat wilderness. In this kind of flat terrain, to rely on his side of three hundred people to deal with thousands of wolf riders was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
Longbottom trusted the mercenary who was scouting the way. These mercenaries were the most experienced ones from the Wolf Fang army. Whether it was in terms of skill or intelligence, they were all trustworthy.
"Damn it." Longbottom angrily grabbed his hair and scolded in a low voice, "I have investigated before. There are no large orc settlements nearby. Additionally, this place is very far from the frontlines. How could there be so many wolf riders here?"
"Boss, could they be chasing us?" One of his subordinates' face turned pale.
"Probably not." Longbottom's eyes flashed and he said, "If they are chasing us, there is no need to send so many. One thousand should be enough. Additionally … the wolf riders are the elite orcs. They would not send them out to chase after us – if they were chasing us, given their mobility, they would have caught up to us long ago. "
After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly and said, "We can only say that we are unlucky. Maybe these wolf riders were just passing by and we bumped into them. "
Everyone stared at Longbottom. Even an idiot would know that with just a few hundred people, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to fill the gaps between the enemy's teeth if they were discovered by the enemy.
"Let's leave this place immediately!" Longbottom ordered.
According to the scouts, the wolf riders were on the other side of the forest, less than 2000 meters away. The wolf riders were also resting beside the forest. Although 2000 meters wasn't too far, it wasn't too close either …
But Longbottom was very clear that to lead the most elite Wolf Riders of the Beastmen, and a few thousand of them at that, the leader must be smarter than ordinary Beastmen. Even an idiot would know that scouts would be sent out to patrol the area when the main force was resting beside the forest.
The other party would definitely do the same! Once the enemy's wolf riders patrol the forest and discover them … then they would be in trouble!
Run!!
At this moment, no one dared to hesitate. Everyone quickly packed up their belongings. Even when they were running, Longbottom didn't let anyone hide the traces they left behind.
For example, the pits that had already been dug to make a fire, and the footprints on the ground …
He was very clear that the other party would send out wolf riders to search this place sooner or later. And once they found this place, even if he hid the traces before leaving, the wolf riders had a powerful ability, and that was the great wolf's sense of smell! These despicable guys had a better sense of smell than dogs! As long as a wolf rider came here, no matter how clean the traces were, the other party would still be able to smell the scent in the air and know that there had been many humans here!
Moreover, these people had been running for so many days, crawling and rolling, and not bathing for a few days. Who didn't stink? And their bodies were stained with blood …
Their only choice now was to run!
At the same time, they prayed to the heavens that the other party would discover them a bit later, giving them more time to escape!
The group quickly left the forest and fled south in the opposite direction of the wolf riders. According to Longbottom's plan, the map showed that there was a river to the south. If they could cross that river, they might be able to escape the wolf riders' danger.
However, it was probably because Longbottom, this fatty, had been spouting vulgarities like "damned heavens" and had long been abandoned by the heavens. Thus, his prayer was not received by the heavens.
This group of people did not have any horses to begin with (they had used a hot air balloon to descend from the sky to the enemy's rear. Where did the horses come from?). Running madly in the wilderness, unfortunately, they had only run for less than two to three kilometers when the mercenary at the back of the group shouted out in alarm: "There are pursuers behind us!"
Sure enough, a cloud of dust rose up from the horizon. Longbottom picked up his binoculars and looked at it. He saw that in the distance, in the wilderness, a group of wolf riders had quickly rushed over. The great wolves were running and jumping, and the Wolf Knight on the wolf's back was exuding a murderous aura. In his hand was a shining long blade!
They had been discovered!
Longbottom's scalp suddenly went numb!
He quickly estimated the speed of both sides. Although the distance between them was still quite far, his group of people did not have any horses. They could only rely on their two legs to run on the plains. There was no way they could outrun the four legged great wolves. If they continued running like this, they would be caught before they reached the river!
There was no choice. He had to make a prompt decision! Longbottom did not hesitate. He immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "Split up!"
His command was heard by everyone. Everyone understood that the boss was going to continue to divide the three hundred people. In this way, the enemy's pursuers might be confused for a while. It was very likely that they would only chase after one group. Then, the other groups would have a chance to survive.
But …
"Boss, we have few people. We can't split up anymore! If the other party split up … "A mercenary immediately shouted. His face was resolute:" How about I take a group of people and stay here to cover the rear! I'll buy you some time! "
"Fucking cover the rear!" Longbottom scolded: "There are over a thousand of them! If you guys cover the rear, you will be swallowed in the blink of an eye! You won't be able to buy time! Don't throw away your lives! Split up! "
Longbottom's method of splitting up the troops was very skillful. These mercenaries that he had trained for a long time were quickly split up according to his orders.
According to Longbottom's strategy of splitting up the troops, it was called: Layer by layer.
In other words, when the wolf riders behind them caught up to them, the wolf riders would see that the 300 or so humans suddenly split up into a small group and fled in another direction. And the small group that split up only had a few dozen people or less.
At this time, if the wolf Knight in charge of the chase wasn't a meticulous guy, he would most likely make a decision: Ignore the small ones, just bite the big ones!
This way, the small groups that split up would have a higher chance of survival.
The number of split up troops must not be too high!
This was Longbottom's strategy.
Along the way, after running for about a few hundred meters, the wolf riders behind them had caught up to them. They could only watch as the humans in front of them split up into three groups. Each group only had a few dozen people.
Sure enough, the leader of the wolf riders laughed: "They are afraid! There are already deserters among the humans! Don't worry about those deserters, just chase after the main group! "
By the time they split up for the fifth time, there were less than 100 people left in Longbottom's group. The two hundred people that had been separated successfully formed a small group and fled.
However, Longbottom's group was being closely watched by the wolf riders behind them. Additionally, the distance between them and the wolf riders was very close!
They were so close that they could hear the sound of the wolf riders' hooves and the howls of the wolf riders!
"Brothers, hurry up and run! The river is right in front! "
Longbottom was already panting from running. However, he still mustered up his strength and shouted loudly to boost the morale of his men.
After running madly for a while, some of the mercenaries were finally unable to hold on and fell behind. Some of them accidentally fell to the ground and no longer had the strength to get up.
Some of them ran slower and slower … finally, the wolf riders caught up to them. When the wolf riders caught up to the humans, they raised their long swords and cut off their heads!
River! River!
The river was right in front!
Longbottom could already see the river! It was right in front! 500 metres! 400 metres … 300 metres …
The battle cries of the wolf riders behind them seemed to be right next to their ears. There were even some mercenaries who were caught up and let out a miserable cry before they died!
When the group finally reached the river, Longbottom immediately roared, "Jump into the river!!"
At this moment, the vanguard of the wolf riders had caught up to the back of the group. The wolf riders at the front brandished their long swords and charged into the group!
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The sound of people jumping into the river rang out one after another. The humans were driven into the river like dumplings.
It was currently autumn and the summer rain season had just passed. Fortunately, it was not the dry season of winter yet and the river was still very deep and wide.
Most of Longbottom's group had jumped into the river. Only the last 20 or so people were caught up by the wolf riders! The human warriors who had been overtaken waved their weapons in despair and made their final struggle. Some of them even lunged madly at the wolf riders beside them with bloodshot eyes. Some of them even roared madly, "Leader! Remember to send this daddy's bounty back home! "
The last 20 or so human mercenaries did not have time to jump into the river and were caught up by the wolf riders. In just a moment, they were all killed!
Longbottom's heart was bleeding, but he tightly bit his lips. He led his remaining subordinates and desperately swam to the other side of the river.
Finally, to Longbottom's group, fortunately, the wolf riders did not jump into the river to chase after them.
This was because Longbottom's group of mercenaries did not wear metal armor in order to maintain their mobility while fighting behind the enemy lines. Most of them only wore leather armor.
However, these wolf riders, as the elite of the beastmen, were all wearing sturdy iron armor made by the dwarven craftsmen. Although these armors were very sturdy, they were also very heavy. Therefore, although the wolf tribe was not afraid of water, it could even be said that most of the wolf tribe were not bad in water.
However, because of the heavy armor, all the wolf riders gave up on the idea of swimming in the water to chase after them.
Moreover ….. looking at the number of humans who jumped into the river, it seemed that there were not many left.
The leader of the wolf riders seemed to be somewhat satisfied with this result. In this kind of weather, there was no need for his warriors to take off their armor and swim in the cold river water in order to chase after a few dozen humans.
The wolf riders only split into two groups and searched towards the two sides of the river. They wanted to see if there was a possibility of going around the end of the river to continue the chase, or if there was a shallow place where they could cross the river.
On the other side of the river, when Longbottom and a few dozen people finally reached the shore, everyone was so tired that they almost collapsed. Longbottom flung his wet hair and hatefully glared at the other side of the river. The wolf riders on the other side of the river were howling and making threatening sounds. Some of the wolf riders even let out sharp laughter. They were probably laughing at their group's sorry state.
Longbottom gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Finally, he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Everyone, do not rest. Immediately evacuate from here! We do not have time to rest! If you want to live, then quickly pull yourself together and leave! "
However, when he was counting the number of people, a piece of news caused Longbottom to become completely dumbfounded!
Out of his 300 people, after splitting up five times along the way, 200 of them ran away, 20 of them fell behind, and less than 80 were left. Most importantly, among these eighty people, one important person was missing. Longbottom clearly remembered this person. When he jumped into the river just now, this person was not far from him and jumped into the river together with him!!
Muse!
"Where is Muse?! Damn it!! How did Muse disappear?! "
Fatty pulled his hair in a frenzy.
